To access the entire data from 2012 to 2018, one can use Exasol data source shared here or one can download the dataset for 2017 from data.world

Here is what I did:

  • I wanted to see correlation between weekday and hourly data hence use heat map with bar charts to see the data.
  • Added highest and lowest hour highlight
  • Use filter of year to filter for the year and use the map to see all the pick up points in London
  • added interactivity on graphs and maps to provide option to filter on any pick up point and analyze the data

Here is the Gif of the visualisation I created (download on the gif to download the Tableau file):

  • This is awesome. I especially love the heatmap at the bottom. This is my first time checking out your blog and I was wondering if there is a way of downloading the entire workbook (data and dashboard). When I download the .twb file, it asks for a password to access the data.

    • Yes… you need to create account in Exasol which will provide password to access the connection
